TRIUMPH Speed Triple 955 (1999-2000) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Triumph Speed Triple was a series of motorcycles made by the British motorcycle manufacturer Triumph. The 1994 Hinckley Triumph was one of the first machines created in a streetfighter form, a modern sports bike, or a race replica without an aerodynamic fairing.

At first, in 1997, the Triumph Speed Triple T509 model was fitted with an 855cc engine, while in 1999, the Speed Triple was upgraded to a larger 955cc engine. The engine lacked Nikasil-lined cylinders and was fitted with different pistons, rods, and camshafts than the Daytona.

In 1999, the British motorcycle manufacturer released the Triumph Speed Triple 955, a naked machine with standard features, such as a twin round headlight system, a two-piece dual seat with an optional passenger seat cover, a high-mounted silencer, and three-spoke aluminum wheels.

The bike was built around an aluminum Trellis frame with a 45 mm adjustable USD fork on the front and an adjustable shock absorber on the rear, offering optimum suspension performance and handling.

The bike's aluminum wheels were fitted with two 320 mm discs tied to four-piston calipers on the front and a 220 mm disc with a dual-piston caliper on the rear, offering optimum braking performance.

At its core, the 1999 Triumph Speed Triple 955 had installed a 955cc four-stroke three-cylinder liquid-cooled engine with a fuel injection system in charge, delivering 110 hp at 9,200 rpm and 98 Nm (72 lb-ft) torque at 5,800 rpm.
